Chapter 104: The Suspect (2)
"The passage where the body was dumped was very narrow, and the murderer was at most as fat and thin as me. Wei Qian said.
Cui Ning hadn't seen the corridor, and when she came the next day, the entire south wall had been demolished.
"What does this case have to do with Si Yanling's case?" The two cases are separated by some years, except for involving Si and Chen, there is not much connection, but Cui Ning feels that it must be related, but the water is too deep.
"Want to know?" Wei Qian lowered his eyes to look at her, "Catch the murderer as much as you can." ”
Cui Ning was almost two heads shorter than him, and when he looked at each other, he had to look up, and he felt quite majestic. When he said this, there was no expression, and there was a kind of confidence in the perfunctory and indifferent, which was particularly dazzling.
"Fifth Brother ......"
"Huh?"
Cui Ning's mouth was pursed into a line, his eyes were shining and his eyes were shining, and "You are so amazing" were written all over his body.
Wei Qian didn't know what he had done to make her suddenly react, and she was a little uncomfortable at the moment, coughed lightly, and quickened her pace to the front.
"Fifth brother, I want to praise you. ”
"Hmm. "You're going to be blinded by that look.
"Then can I say that?" she remembered very clearly, Wei Qian said that she was not allowed to praise him in the future, but she was used to praising him normally, so what should she do if she didn't say it?
"No, you can't. ”
Wei Qian's two long legs were unhurried, but Cui Ning, who was deprived of freedom of speech, had to trot to keep up.
She hummed and chirped with Wei to a place in the Heavenly Prison, and found that all the disciples had gathered in the courtyard.
This is a cross-courtyard, Wei Qian glanced at it, and went straight to the main courtyard.
"Take the list and check the number of people. Wei Qian handed the list to the officer.
After sitting in the main courtyard hall for about a cup of tea, the errand came back, "Lord Hui, there are fifteen people missing, and the adults in the stall room said that they were eliminated from the previous tests." ”
"Hmm. Wei Qian put the list on the table at hand, "Please come over a few adults." ”
After a short time, all the chief officials of the Hun Tian Prison were invited over, there were six in total, in addition to Chen Changshou who was in charge of the Hun Tian Order, there were also two young eunuchs Yuan Feichen and Zhang Wei, as well as Shangguan Mao of the Calculation Bureau, Ji Yuzai, the head of the Test Bureau, and Zhao Hong, the head of the Missing Carving Bureau.
Among the six, Ji Yuzai is the only female official.
Wei Qian didn't say a word of nonsense, and after inviting everyone to take a seat, he said directly, "Such a horrific murder has happened under your noses, and please do your best to cooperate with the early arrest of the murderer." Lord Yuan, can you tell me the details of the students who have been eliminated in the past four months? Lord Yuan, don't tell me that the Heavenly Prison has never made a foundation. ”
Yuan Feichen was less than fifty years old, sitting in a precarious position, with neat beard, and wearing an official robe on his body, he still looked like a fairy wind and bones, much more powerful than Chen Changshou.
He served as a young eunuch in the Hun Tian Prison, in charge of the file room, and all the files of the incident list were under his control, and he was one of the serious suspects.
"I've brought it here. Yuan Feichen took out a scroll from his sleeve and gave it to Wei Qian.
Wei Qian quickly swept through it and grasped the key, "I got the list of all the apprentices yesterday, as well as the list of those who are eliminated, there is no apprentice surnamed Si on it, dare to ask Lord Yuan, why?"
Yuan Feichen cleared his throat, "The apprentice who jumped off the stargazing platform is named Ling Wei, I don't know where she got her fake identity. ”
"The Hun Tian Prison admitters never carefully verify their identities?" Wei Qian asked again.
"Will verify. Yuan Feichen felt helpless, "But everyone understands the current situation of Hun Tianjian, and there are not enough manpower, so they can only hand over the household registration to the household department and ask them to help verify it." I guess it's just checking if there's such a person!"
After the assistance of the household department, Ling Wei's household registration was real, but the person was replaced.
This is also a matter of no way, there are so many household registrations, and there is no way to bring people back for checking, it is easy to be exploited, and the missing person of the Si family may have changed his name and surname to live elsewhere.
Wei Qian saw Ling Wei's record: fourteen years old, from Yi County, Tongzhou, and the Testing Bureau verified Tong Guò.
Everyone thought that Wei Qian would ask Ji Yuzai for a while, but after waiting for a while, they heard him say, "Please go to the West Cross Courtyard to sit for a while." ”
Six officials got up one after another and went out.
Wei Qian turned his head to Cui Ning, who was perfecting the record, and said, "Write down the appearance of the six people." ”
"Hmm. Cui Ning responded, "Among the six people, only Lord Zhao, who missed the carving bureau, is not quite in shape." ”
Zhao Hongsheng is not very tall, the whole person looks round and chubby, like Maitreya Buddha, the waist circumference can reach Wei Qian's two, it is estimated that he can be stuck at the entrance, let alone carry the corpse from such a small corridor.
"The murderer is not necessarily a person. Wei Qian said.
Cui Ning was stunned for a moment, "That's right." ”
As the two spoke, all the disciples were taken outside the hall door. After several rounds of elimination, twenty-eight remained.
Wei Qian asked all the evidence in the place where the body was thrown to be placed on the long case in the center of the hall.
"I'm talking here, and you should all be able to hear me. Wei Qian stared at the young men and girls with different feelings outside, "A large number of broken corpses were found in the stargazing platform, and it can be determined that the identity of these deceased is the apprentice of the Hun Tian Prison, and now there are some evidence, you have been with the deceased day and night, when someone can identify it, you can look carefully, you can't catch the murderer, maybe the next evidence I picked up belongs to one of you." ”
As soon as the words fell, there was a lot of commotion outside.
The messenger scolded a few words, and led the four of them in groups to identify the object.
In the past, almost half of the people recognized that half of the jade pendants belonged to a disciple named Zhong Chusheng. The reason why it is easy to identify is that all the students are uniformly dressed, and a little more accessories on each person are more conspicuous, and the second is that this Zhong Chusheng is handsome and quite eye-catching.
It is said that this young man is as gentle as jade, personable, and treats everyone very gently.
And it wasn't until the last group that a girl recognized the handkerchief embroidered with peach blossoms.
The owner of the handkerchief is named Ling Ling, according to the description of the female apprentice, Ling Ling is eighteen years old, tall, quite bright, and has always had a good relationship with Zhong Chu.
At this point, Wei Qian had to think about it, since the pseudonym of Si's concubine has the same surname as one of the deceased, the two are likely to be sisters, is it because of the exposure of their identities that the murderer killed the older Ling Ling first, and Ling Wei would only die when she was cornered?
After everyone who should have asked was finished, Wei Qian sat and drank tea, Cui Ning worked hard to write, and when she sorted out the records, she took a breath and saw that he had no intention of leaving, "Is there anything else?"
"Sit down and wait for news. Wei Qian said, "Bring it to me and take a look." ”
Cui Ning handed over the record.
Wei Qian read it again, the description was clear and true, clearly organized, and the handwriting was neat, "Not bad." ”
After sitting for a while, Cui Ning couldn't help but ask again, "Fifth brother, what are we waiting for?" R1152
